> Khomiakov, Kireevsky, Soloviev, Florensky, Bulgakov, Berdyaev, Shestov,
> Frank, Karsavin, and Alexander Men, the Handbook also looks at the role of
> religion in aesthetics, music, poetry, art, film, and the novelists
> Dostoevsky and Tolstoy. Ideas, institutions, and movements discussed
> include the Church academies, Slavophilism and Westernism, theosis, the
> name-glorifying (*imiaslavie*) controversy, the God-seekers and
> God-builders, Russian religious idealism and liberalism, and the
> Neopatristic school. Occultism is considered, as is the role of tradition
> and the influence of Russian religious thought in the West.
